    A total of seven Finns who have been evacuated from Georgia are to
    arrive by plane in Tallinn, Estonia, on Tuesday morning and then
    continue on to Finland, the Finnish foreign ministry told the Finnish
    News Agency (STT) on Monday evening.

    Estonia's embassy in Georgia evacuated the Finns to the Armenian
    capital Yerevan where they were put on a special flight for Estonian
    citizens headed for Tallinn.

    Finland does not have its own embassy in Georgia.

    According to the Finnish foreign ministry, a couple of Finns left
    Georgia on their own steam already during the weekend to escape the
    conflict. Eight Finns have chosen to remain in the country, three
    of them working for the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in
    Europe (OSCE), of which Finland currently holds the chairmanship.
